Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat the chili on the stovetop in a large saucepan. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook over medium-high heat until al dente. Drain and add pasta back to the saucepan. Add the cheese and butter and stir until melted.
  • Add the mac and cheese to the chili and stir. Ladle into serving bowls immediately and top with sour cream, if desired.

Notes

  • Stir 1/2 cup tomato sauce or diced tomatoes to the chili for an extra saucy chili.
  • Add chopped green pepper (bell or jalapeno) for an extra crunch.
  • If you need to bump up the flavor in the chili, consider adding a touch of chili powder, beef broth or red kidney beans.
